All I really do with computers is play CS:GO. Is this computer good at its price to play on highest settings? I already have a 144hz 1080p monitor

I went with one stick because it was cheap, plus i can upgrade later. I went with an ssd because i thought itd help with speeds. 250gb since all I do is CSGO boii. 550w supply so it can last a while and be upgradeable

I say get 2x4gb ram instead for dual channel but I don't know much about that

I'd keep the 1 X 8GB Stick.

 

That way you dont have to switch out the 2 X 4GB sticks when you want more.

Should be fine for csgo

Try get an i3 somehow, source games are EXTREMELY CPU dependent and I'm highly against AMD for competitive CSGO or TF2. For source games, the CPU is the last thing you want to skimp on in my opinion.

 

The SSD is useful, it helps keep random stutters down which can sometimes kill you in CSGO if you're unlucky.

go intel as cs go is a very cpu based game. you dont need a 250gb ssd for cs go. a 120 will be way more than enough.

I was just thinking that, atleast spend a bit more and don't get a dirt cheap motherboard, most cheaper boards are still ok though, OP.
